moving off blogger: a play in 13 acts
a month or so ago…
your friendly neighborhood happyfunboy had the joyous pleasure of packing everything up & moving the funcave off google’s atrocious blogger.
the reasons for this move were numerous, but primary among them were:
- blogger’s infamous amount of downtime
- blogger’s even more infamous level of performance
- a severe lack of features, particularly categorization
- hideous ways the funcave rendered in different browsers & on handheld devices
and besides that…
i got sick of having a blog url that looked like it was something dreamed up by someone on an acid trip.
the good captain had already made the leap to wordpress a while earlier…
so i knew if a floridian could handle it…
i felt pretty good about the success of the migration.
little did i realize how amazingly awesome wordpress would be…
particularly when it came to initial setup, also know as wordpress’ famous 5 minute install…
and the actual migration itself.
seriously…
almost child’s play.
but if you’re gonna make the leap to wordpress from another blogging service, here are some things i noted along that way that should help your move be a smooth one.
or…at least smoother one maybe.
